I want to speed up my recoery, but i dont have any money to join your program...Pls help...
You are my God now. I have never heard anybody explain things and mention details as you do. We amplify stressors....because we dismissed and ignored the impact they have on our nervous system, physical and mental health, for so long. You are a legend. Thank you and keep on keeping on, only don't over do it lulz, Anne in Ireland
I'm truly honored by your kind words, Anne! 🌟 It's wonderful to hear that my explanations resonate with you. I'll do my best to keep providing helpful insights and support. Remember, your journey to recovery is important, and I'm here to assist along the way. Take care! 😊🙏
Dead weight holding me back..
Can’t wait to cut them loose and begin handling stress like I used to!
We will cut them loose!
"Could not handle stress because I had all these other stressors going on in the background". Yes. Totally makes sense. And I have a lot of injuries - what I call trauma now- that also creates all this noise in the background... self- limiting beliefs, unresolved feelings, etc. Do you talk about how to address those?
This video made me cry! You are able to describe the way I feel even better than I could. Thank you 💜
Glad you enjoyed it and hope it'll be an eye opener for the next steps towards recovery!
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! I ACTUALLY CRY AT EVERY ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO ME..AND I FEEL HOPE AFTER SUCH A LONG TIME
Yes! More videos like this. I struggle so much with managing my emotions and need techniques.
You got it!
And by the way, thanks for your channel.
You're so welcome
My symptoms are burning sensations in the body and sometimes in the brain. I don’t know how to handle, but I am following your videos, hopefully makes more sense to me. Thanks
I'm sorry to hear about the burning sensations you're experiencing. Have you seen a medical professional and received a diagnosis yet? While am not a doctor, I know from my personal experience with CFS that burning sensations can be very distressing and may have various underlying causes, including nerve-related issues, inflammation, or other health conditions.
I welcome you to follow the videos here, but it's also important to keep in mind that CFS and other health conditions can manifest differently in different individuals so it's important to understand what exactly your situation is so I can better help you. Feel free to reach on Instagram DM for more personalized help instagram.com/cfsrecovery/
God bless you Miguel
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this video.. I Am In Hell.. Anxiety in debilitating.. Please continue to make these videos..
You're very welcome, Linda! I'm glad you found the video helpful, but I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time with debilitating anxiety. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this, and there are strategies that can help manage stress and anxiety even in the face of CFS.
I'll definitely continue making videos and providing support for dealing with CFS and related challenges.
its also very helpful to write those patterns down, to get them out of your head.
Thank you for the idea! 😊
Explained so well! Thankyou! 💎It’s definitely a balance of stretching our body/muscles to the next point(NOT FORCING, only a slight challenge), in my case hanging washing is too hard, but I’m starting to take a couple of things off the washing line, or I am reaching up to put a glass or tea cup in the cupboard. There’s a lot of resistance there, but it should get easier the more I persist.
That’s how it’s done! It is a balance
Another excellent video, thank you for your time.
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
I like your videos buddy! Thanks a lot!
Glad you like them! 🙌🙌🙌
Miguel you are amazing with your advice, thank you❣️
You're so welcome! ❤️
Thank you Miguel, this video revealed the biggest hindrance to my recovery! Your dead weight analogies are perfect,that’s exactly what it feels like. Letting go is so hard. I get short spurts of release and it is so freeing. Acceptance🙌🏼
Acceptance is just about right - you cannot beat a positive mindset!
Thank you, I appreciate your cool, calm and collected attitude towards CFS recovery!
You're very welcome! 😊
Wow. This was such a helpful video. Thank you!!! ❤😊🙏
Glad it was helpful. You're so welcome! 😊❤️
Thanks so much, this is vital information 💖💖💖
You're very welcome. Thank you too! ❤️
Great vid. Im in that in between phase- working 5 days a week and training 3 hours a week at the gym. Getting stronger- antifragile in a balanced way. Thanks for the tips. will make a list on what weights could be anchoring me
So glad to hear that! Sounds like we’re definitely on the tail end of recovery
I am having a hard time figuring out how to manage emotional stress. I understand the concept that I have to gradually train my nervous system to handle a higher level of stress; and I understand what you mean by letting go of "dead weight" in terms of negative thoughts. But I don't know how to NOT go way beyond my threshold in terms of emotional stress with regards to certain relationships. It isn't always as simple as just cutting someone out of your life. I guess I have to force myself to just not care about certain relationships, to have zero expectations whatsoever, so that I won't feel so much stress when people let me down. Relationship stress is the main stumbling block that's keeping me from making progress.
I can't speak for your situation. But relationship stress is also my biggest problem. It is extremely difficult to deal with. I am currently completely cutting out anyone from my life that causes toxic stress. It's brutal but nessecary.
Same…
I concentrate on healthy relationships and cut down toxic people or contacts or my thoughts for them. I do not allow them anymore to occupy me. No place left. I do have a toxic father though... What I do is: I respond his mails after a meditation. Without getting his words in my inner mind. And then I breathe and watch out for movement. Kind of technical. It works. If you allow me as a person who lived in earlier times toxic relationships (ref. living-partners) to say: You can overcome this. It is part of a fight & fight- personality, even f&f- addiction.
Same.
That’s my biggest issue right now. And besides having no expectations I am at a loss.
Let me know if you figure anything out.
Im in the middle of a flare up now. I know i need to cut out toxic relationships that question my illness. I know i need to stop watching news that is effecting my anger. My brain wont shut off. Im so angry at this person questioning my CFS and keeping me in the defensive mode. My mind is in chaos and im desperate to feel better. This flare up is going on 3 weeks in bed
I find it so hard to let go of the fear to do more activities because in the beginning (before I knew much) I had a big crash. I know now to increase slowly but I am still scared. I will try to swat away negative thoughts as I really want to improve. Thanks for all your insight. Your videos are so helpful
Yes it is very scary in the beginning! Your brain does not trust that your body will be able to handle anything so you have to start very slow and constantly remind yourself that it is just the nervous system
EXACTLY! I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT IS A CRASH OR RECOVERY.. IT IS HARD AND SCARY
Hello Miguel. What I got out of this is a slow awakening to the fact that trying to avoid symptoms at all costs is not what makes a person well. I have a question for you. I saw from notes I took from Toby Morrison a few years ago that for the first two weeks (of working towards recovery) one should do 50% less. As someone living alone with friends, but not family nearby, how is it possible to do 50% less? Who will get food in, clean my home, pay the bills, do laundry….just doing all the small things necessary to keep one’s head above water? I already use a lot of time resting (I also do tai chi/qigong and have a (virtual) personal trainer twice a week. Without those two things I would be (fibromyalgia and arthritis) a semi-invalid.) Question #2. What is the oldest person you know of who has recovered from these conditions (CFS/ME; fibromyalgia)? I heard someone talking about people recovering at all ages: they say, 50’s, 60’s, EVEN SEVENTIES they say, rather breathlessly. . (No one ever mentions EIGHTIES.). Of course it’s POSSIBLE. I’m asking if you know of anyone in their 80’s who recovered. I’m not going to stop trying; I’m just curious.
Good one. Im 74. Still syruggling but ive had this for at leadt 30 years but just recently diagnosed. Not how i want to spend my life. And btw. Does it get worse with age
I love your video's. They are well laid out and I love the analogies you use. I find that meditation or relaxation techniques help a lot, but not enough to heal the entire situation. I think I struggle with emotions more than anything. When I do meditation I do good but when I try the visualizations it seems like emotional pain/memories floods in even if I wasn't even remotely thinking about that situation before I started. It might be my body trying to push back against the status quo. It's just frustrating. Thank you for all of your great video's. I'm still working my way through them since I just recently found you.
You're Welcome!
Same..
So much emotions a big flare now but respond well saying it is Just my nervous system dont ask how long the ap will last ❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful 😊
It's nice to know I can get to the point of ant-stress. I've never heard of it. My stress is overboard. I have an anxiety disorder (put off of work) and I spent 77 hours this week helping to care for my mother who has Alzheimer's and gets very agitated and aggressive. I spend a lot of time singing with her and that helps her and me but I'm still exhausted. I was even having nightmares last night of taking care of her and being exhausted. We are putting her name in for a nursing home because it is getting too difficult (my sister, sister-in-law, and I are caring for her but my sister has been sick and not going for awhile so it's more on my sister-in-law and me). We all need a break but having health issues is really hard in these circumstances. I have other physical health issues as well. Any advice on how to keep my calm? I've been getting terrible stomach pain.

@@cfsrecovery Thanks. I'll take a look.
Thank you so much for your videos, just so good. For me, just knowing that there is a logical explanation took away sooo much of the worring and doubts. I now know I will recover, but I still am a little bit struggling with how to work my way up from being housebound and not being able to walk the stairs from the second floor of my building. Do you have any ideas, how to slowly approach the stairs? I would really appreciate it. Probably I have build up some fear about it until now, so I have to work on that. But after an adjustment period, should I just go the same amount as what had triggered that adjustment period or a little less? Thanks a lot, I would immeadiately join your program, but as I'm only a long covid recoveree of 8 months, I don't fit, right? ;)
Hi Jenny, so glad you're feeling much better after watching these videos! Honestly, I would need to know more about your situation to give you more specific advice. I would say to definitely apply for the program so you can work directly with the coaches and we can build a personalized plan for you. You're definitely eligible even you've only had long covid for 8 months, there are quite a few people in the program who have had long covid for 3-6 months! www.cfsrecovery.co/apply
I AM ON 14 MONTHS LONG COVID THAT HAS SEGUED TOWARD CHRONIC FATIGUE.. IT IS DEBILITATING NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.. I AM SO GRATEFUL I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. I FEEL THIS IS MY BIBLE TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN.. ALSO YEARS OF STRESS..COPING WITH MY FATHERS RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND PAIN AND KIDNEY FAILURE STRAIGHT TO CARING FOR MY MOMMA FOR 7 YEARS OF STROKE/DEMENTIA.. I KNOW TRULY MY BODY AND MIND WAS ON OVERDRIVE FOR SO MANY YEARS IT JUST COLLAPSED. UNLESS YOU GO THRU THAT KIND OF DAILY STRESS FOR YEARS YOU DONT KNOW THE TOLL.. I THOUGHT I WAS STRONG..UNTIL MY BODY SAID ENOUGH!!!! NOW TRYING TO BUILD BACK TO BEING NORMAL.. THANK YOU ..ALL YOU SAY MAKES SENSE AND MAKES ME FEEL I WILL BE STRONGER..

Hi Miguel, that really motivates me to strengthen my muscles! But I still don't progress with my exreme photophobia. Do you have expereances with that? It leads to long lasting migrains.

How do you turn off your energy-consuming emotions? If you do not want to be stunned and poisoned with antidepressants. antidepressants do that job, take away emotions. may be difficult for you to answer. Great video!
I'm curious about this too. I'm on antidepressants and still deal with many negative emotions and thoughts

@@northernflicker1111 Holy basil by Organic India or small doses of NAC really helped. I mean small. Like 100mg of NAC it’s strong... build up..holy basil works well though
@@Mike-mh5rl I'll look into it, thanks! I already have both of those on hand.
@@northernflicker1111 try advanced colonics liver max too first actually.... liver cleanse helped significantly
